The People’s Champ The Rock made his triumphant return to WWE on last week’s Friday Night SmackDown and went face to face with The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns, but the reaction from wrestling fans was much different than expected.
Wrestling fans were not happy with The Rock taking Cody Rhodes place to face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40. Cody Rhodes won the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match, 2nd time in a row, and fans thought that Cody was finally going to finish his story. But fans were not happy with The Rock taking away Cody’s place at WrestleMania 40.
According to the Fightful Select reports, WWE expected Cody Rhodes would get a passionate reaction from his fans. However, they did not expect that it would lead to The Rock getting booed and will receive “Rocky sucks!” chants on the Monday Night RAW.
Fightul’s report also noted that they had not heard from anyone in the promotion that they were passing out “We Want Cody” signs ahead of the show. The publication added that they had heard from several fans who created signs in support of The American Nightmare.
